No Data Center Listed on Easton’s Commercial Development Pipeline

Engage Easton’s published commercial, institutional, and industrial inventory shows no data-center applicant; Maryland’s recent data-center air permit example remains Frederick, not Talbot.

EASTON, MARYLAND — No data center is proposed in Talbot County on Easton’s published commercial development pipeline. Engage Easton’s Commercial Development Pipeline inventories approved commercial, institutional, and industrial projects coming to town, and the live page does not list a data-center applicant.

The Engage pipeline page says the map depicts commercial, institutional, and industrial projects reviewed and approved by the Planning and Zoning Commission. Those projects either involve new construction of more than 5,000 square feet of gross floor area or were referred by staff to the Planning Commission, and they are either going through site plan review, building permit review, or are actively under construction. Readers open colored map circles or left-side attachments for elevations and site plans on individual jobs.

A separate Engage tool inventories residential projects. That residential ledger is a housing-unit inventory, not a commercial data-center application.

For statewide context only, the Maryland Department of the Environment on March 25, 2026, issued a final determination approving an air quality permit for Amazon Data Services, Inc., authorizing emergency backup generators for a data center campus at 3250 Digital Drive in Frederick. That Frederick permit is not a Talbot County land-use filing and does not place a data-center applicant on Easton’s pipeline.
